Did you enjoy your Chinese New year? get lots of angpau?
It was a satisfied one for me although I knew that happiness and childhood fun time do fades as time goes by. We grow older, and the fun gets further.
But anyway, when you lose something, you’ll gain something different. This is life.
This year, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus’s Chinese society has organized a Lantern Festival or known as 元宵celebration, contributing some CNY mood to the chinese community in this Uni. I’ve attended the event with my fellow friends that was held on 22nd feb 2011. Although there’s nothing fancy or exciting that night, but when you’re together with your friends, simple performance and games can bring priceless joy and memory to you. I appreciate every moment spent with my uni friends, as I know, this is the last place where I can find true friends before stepping out to the realistic society.

Personally, I felt that the event is quite messy, it looks organized, but somehow I got a feeling of quite lost and don’t know what to do most of the time when I was there.
The programmes are not that excited which include singing performance, orchestra performance, chinese orchestra performance, Diablo performance, and some talking show. Oh ya, and not to forget there’s some team building activities that were going on in the middle of the event. Well, what I could see is, every committee did their very best to commit to this voluntary work to help this event go as smooth as it can.
Kudos, very very appreciate your hardwork!
But just some suggestion from a visitor, lack of sound system at the outside booth to boost the CNY mood. This may be was the main factor that make me felt quite lost and not enough CNY mood. Still, congrats for overall success on this event. I dare not comment much on the food sold that day, because I’ve just ate an egg tart and half a cup of ‘liong cha’. haha, But as I can see there’s lots of leftover after the event, sooooo, yeah, you can guess how’s the food was. No comment. :/
